While many would say they believe in prayer, the reality is that it can also leave us confused at times. No doubt, we’ve all had times where we prayed for something that we thought was a good thing, but it didn’t come to pass. In those moments, it’s easy to wonder why. Why would God leave prayers, that we prayed with good intentions and even in faith for, unanswered? Sometimes, it may even feel as if praying is pointless because we’ve felt letdown time and time again. However prayer, while sometimes confusing, is always powerful. The key is to understand why we pray what we pray and how to position ourselves for God to answer them in His way, not ours. Because while we may have it all figured out in our minds, He always has a better way.
